CONGRATS! I am scheduled for July 14th!!! It is soooo real now! I was amazed too at how fast it all took... I started on May 21 i think and then say the pscy on June 1 and then my insurance paperwork was sent in on June 7 and I was approved that week. WOW! I am sooo excited! How are u feeling about it? Please share!
Just got back from support group meeting - It again reinforced to me how lucky I am that insurance approval came so quick - there were women there who I know weigh much more then me and have more health problems that I do - and they are struggling w/ insurance approval.
But - the biggest thing I got out of the meeting is that positive attitude goes a long way w/ the surgery - if you go in scared and worried - you are going to have a tougher time then if you go in upbeat and ready to accept this tool being given to you.
I am so excited to know that in 6 months - I can sit in that room and have someone - just like me - look at me in awe when I say I have lost 40 or 50 pounds since my surgery...
